3rd party voters? Are they really this stoopid?

[BSdetect]

MSNBC / Kornaky trying his best to undermine HRC by showing support for Johnson and Stein among young voters.

Make the election look even to keep up ratings.

1. there's is simply no arguing with some of them, they are stupid in a weird way

But others I think are only voting for Hillary because they think she will win, and may well end up voting for her if they think it is really close.

2. Maybe not stupid, but still angry.

Many falsely believe that Bernie got cheated out of the primary. They think they can punish the Democratic Party by voting third party.

Sorry folks, i liked Bernie too but he LOST! Now let's come together and beat the Cheeto. By voting third party you are only hurting yourself.

3. When calling yourself "principled" means you're willing...

to shoot yourself in the foot, then yeah, you're pretty fuckin' dumb.

4. Yes. Wait, ok, let me read the rest of your post...

Ok. I amend that:

3rd party voters: mix of naive and stupid

Kornacki: mix of venal and stupid.

5. Breathtaking stupid and immature.

6. It depends on where they are.

If you're in Texas or California, which are a solid red or blue, feel free to vote your conscience, to use your vote as a protest.

If you're in Michigan or Ohio, somewhere that could swing to either candidate, then think about consequences.

Of course, if voting third party makes you appear hipper, if it helps you get laid or something important like that, then of course vote third party. Or, vote Dem and claim you voted 3rd party. Nobody will know.

(All assumptions about TX, CA, MI, OH are just examples, I claim no special knowledge about the likely outcomes of any locale)

11. Texas is trending purple for the first time. And I despise this conscience bullshit.

If you really give a fuck about an issue - fight for it. Work on promoting your issue. That's a protest. Voting against everyone viable- that's just lazy patting yourself on the back for doing nothing.

7. Johnson won't get more than 4% and Stein less than 1% on election day

They won't swing it either way.

Some folks here need to calm down.

9. But you're still watching, so they're winning. nt

10. Stupid? Maybe. Or possibly don't feel they can be hurt by Trump as prez.

That feeling is usually reserved for those with some money to fall back on.

12. Short answer is yes...they see their role teaching America a lesson and

Then they run away from responsibility when everything goes wrong....they are the worse of the worse
